Neuroscientist Halts Research to Stop Extremists
FleaPlus writes "UCLA neuroscience professor Dario Ringach, known for his contributions to our understanding of how the visual system processes information, has been forced to give up his experiments by the actions of animal-rights extremists. Although he and his family had endured harassment and vandalization by animal-rights activists for years, Ringach reconsidered after extremists tried to firebomb a colleague's home and accidentally left their Molotov cocktail on an elderly neighbor's doorstep. Ringach sent an email to animal activist groups saying, 'You win... please don't bother my family anymore.'"
That would be too good. Better would be to use them for the experimentation that they deem unfit for animals. Everybody wins!
I too have felt the cold finger of injustice.
Not that I actually have done this.
...I am going to torture 25 monkeys to death. Just for fun. Not for science, just good old fashioned fun.
And the good news is that bullets can be made with no animal by-products.
I too have felt the cold finger of injustice.
Damn it. I mis-read the title as "Neuroscientists Reasearch Halts Extremeists" I was thinking they found the fundimentalist nut-job gene sequence and could correct it and remove it from the gene pool.
Ah well. Mabey next week. Where is Craig Venter and Celera Genomics when ya need em.
Place a curse on the RIAA/MPAA today

I wonder if monkey tastes good... watching those videos while hungry was probably not a good idea.

Time between when the story was posted by the editors and someone blames bush.... 19 minutes.
Is that a new record?
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should be the name of a store, not a government agency.
I'm going hunting tomorrow morning. I don't care for what. I'll just take my twenty gauge and a couple of boxes of shells; go out into the woods near my house; and start the massacre.
And in the afternoon?
Fishing with dynamite, baby.
You animal rights terrorists may have won a round against the researcher, but I am a one-man animal sadist terrorist cell... and I've now been activated.
Why are you letting these clowns ruin our country?
Might I add, your method of killing people is quite similar to how it is done in fascist states. This would not go unnoticed by the general public, and would likely lead to some form of civil unrest.
When I run into this problem I just click on a few of the people and turn them into Elvis. Problem solved.
if God didn't want us to eat animals, He wouldn't have made them out of meat.
Power to the Penguin!

Buy the DVDs.
Shit dude, you should move to Burma. I hear people kill other people all the time in defence of their personal property. It'd be your wet dream!
"Old man yells at systemd"
Because there are a lot of Christians like me who wouldn't hesitate to shoot those violent fucks if we caught them in the act. Why? Our religion teaches that preserving life is a duty of all Jews and Christians.
Is this supposed to be a joke?
According to the Powers-That-Were yes, they were.
:)
Yeah, but those guys weren't taking their orders from squeeky the rabbit.
3 things about computers: they're alive, they're self-aware, and they hate your guts.
You do mean a record in that it took so long, right?
